The decomposition of a certain mass of \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\) gave \(11.2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) gas at \(\mathrm{STP}\). The mass of \(\mathrm{KOH}\) required to completely neutralise the gas is

  1. A \(56 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(28 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(42 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D 20 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(56 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Decomposition of \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\) as follows: Neutralisation reaction of \(\mathrm{KOH}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) as follows: \(2 \mathrm{KOH}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) 2 moles 1 mole 1 mole…
